This shortened video is of a British (Reserve) Army Expedition to summit Mount Everest from the North side (Tibet) that took place in 2000.

With the patronage of HRH Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales and the support of sponsors & the general public a large amount of money was raised for Cancer Research UK.

It is the intention to donate ANY monies raised from Youtube, generated by the viewing of the video, directly to Cancer research UK.

Jnb, Firstly, the route in question is from Tibet and is general called the North east route, the second most popular route up Everest.

As for number of camps in question, in our case we at one time had 6 which includes an interim camp between Base and Advance whilst we acclimatised in the early stages.

Camps general are: Base camp 5100m - Advance 6100m - North Col 7100m, North col ridge 7900m -last camp (summit assault) 8300m.

which side are they climbing from, cause I thought that the typical side climbed from there were only 4 camps.

One man alone can not live without technology Mt.Everest and Ararat (Ağrı Dağı) to achieve.

They should try to climb K2 or Annapurna, unless they value their lives because those mountains are darned dangerous
